    3rd AK round mags??

    I just received a couple of (as listed) 3rd mags I won on ebay

    The listing says 7.62x39, but when they would not fit any of my AK-47’s I started to look the mags over and compare them to the 10rd mags I also received and noticed the mags were not as wide as the 10rd mags....so I tried one on my Bulgarian 74 and it fit....by dumb luck I bought a pair of metal 5rd 5.45x39 mags, something I have been looking for the past 3 years

    The only problem I have is they will not fit my Polish WZ-88

    Will add pic’s later

    I didn't think eBay sold gun mags anymore?

    You don't find many of the clinton capacity 5.45x39 mags too often. Great accidental find!

    Yes, ebay changed their rules to allow gun parts a few months ago (or longer because since I have retired, time is meaningless )

    ebay finally figured out they were losing a shitpot of money to other sites by banning gun stuff.

    I have been playing the AK game for a long time, and just when you think you have seen every possible mag variation, something like this pops up!

    A mini-mag for an AK. Cute, and it would allow you to use your rifle for hunting in states that allow the caliber but restrict ammo capacity.

    Up to now the only 5rd 5.45x39 mags I have seen were the plastic mags......I have only heard about the steel mags, now I have two

    you can still find polish steel 30 rnd 5.45 mags if you look hard enough. the two mags you have are actually cut down romainian 30 rnd mags, I'll do you a favor and not tell you what they'd be worth if they were still hi-caps.

    I have polish steel 30 rd 5.45 mags that only work with 25 rds....with 30 rds I had trouble getting it in the mag well and when I did the bolt would not move
